Default Got the Fatcat and Ghost pipe today...

from the folks at Automotive Machine Supply in Ft. Worth! Now here's the delimna; my VH True duals with Ovals have been running so good lately, and I've really gotten into the stereo pipe groove, not to mention the serious HP they make at cruising speeds. I'm really happy with them, BUT I'm also really into performance and a well tuned bike. So for those who care to play, please either talk me into or out of installing the Fatcat and Ghost pipe in place of my true duals. Am I going to wish I'd done it sooner or regret going back to the old 2-1 days (Thunderheader on a Fatboy)?

Thanks for comments!

At over $500 bucks you have invested I'd put the Fatcats on and feel the torque and extra horses that your VH tru duals aren't giving you. You could always make a recording of your sound now and just play it thru your stereo [sm=icon_rofl.gif]I got the ***STEATLH*** baffle in mine so itwill most likely be another week or two before I get mine [:@]

Heard some guys in there today picking up their pipes and they were raving about the stealth baffle from a performance standpoint. Think you'll be happy!

I should be seeing mine arrive anytime now. I know the feeling about a build snowballing. I might be deploying for awhile and if so I think I will pull my engine and send it to GMR for him to install a 124" setup.
